How Level 12 Pumps DO NOT have a big effect on the economy of Clash.

An increase in supply is always a good thing. However, the issue is how quickly players can dump loot (demand). Build times protect us all from players dumping 100% of their loot all the time. However, walls have no build time, and virtually limitless demand (few players max them). Thus, most loot can still be dumped out on walls. You are not going to see awesome storage raids often until players have an incentive to hold larger amounts of loot. The only current incentive is to afford expensive upgrades, which don't come around very often. Other than that holding loot is essentially punished.

So you have a system designed around attacking active players along with an incentive/disincentive desgined to punish harshly those holding lots of loot. Brilliant. Personally I see no reason why the loot player A holds should have much impact on the reward player B gets for attacking A. But I don't run the zoo.

True. But it seems to me that Supercell has been pretty clear that they want the game to be about battling other players and not about battling some defunct, lifeless village on autopilot. It shouldn't be surprising that a new feature would focus on increasing the allure of attacking your opponents and not focus on increasing the benefits of subsisting off inactive bases.

Some semi inactive beaten up players may come back to the queue once they hear about the lvl 12 collectors. They will upgrade them and keep themselves in the search queue for a week and of course will quit again.

One thing is for sure: they wont hurt the economy...........which is a rare feat for SC.

Lol. You say "12,000 a day" but that's only counting for one collector. Multiple that by 6 or 7 and you have around 80k extra of each resouce a day. And people who upgrade their collectors could easily go inactive in the future or have inactive streaks of a couple days, which would produce plenty of loot. So even if you don't raid you still get 72-84k of each resource a day plus more from raids. Even if a player isn't inactive you still get more loot from their collectors, even if it's a small amount, it adds up.

It will help the COC economy, nobody said it will completely change it, every small bit counts and after a while i am sure we will find some inactive bases with lvl 12 collectors. That would be nice 😊

There won't be a noticable effect for a few months. 1 year down the track it will be quite dramatic I would think. ~15% boost.

I'm a storage raider, I don't rely on collectors... if there's more to be got, no worries for me.

I've never thought there was much of a loot problem... i might be in the minority there...

All other things aside, this is the entire point of clash. If you have higher level collectors you in turn will have more loot to spend.

It's just free so it's good.

The biggest diff. in loot will be the change to "elixir into walls."

Yup, there are tons of preemie townhall 9 and 10s out there who will no longer be able to dump elixir into their pink or purple walls. This will mean a noticeable shift in how much elixir in storages is available.
